Exhibit with permission of the University of Munich/Permanent White Rose Installation
The below video is a series of nine photographs reproduced with permission of the University of Munich/Ludwig Maximilians Universitaet/Weisse Rose Stiftung. These 24 x 36" posters tell the story of the Scholl siblings, Hans and Sophie, who, together with Christoph Probst, formed an organized resistance against the Nazis. From 1942 until their capture and execution in 1943, they recruited over sixty fellow Germans, wrote five editions of anti-Third Reich leaflets, reproduced and distributed them throughout southern Germany. BoP's Reading Room Director, Alexandra Lehmann, helps to represent the LMU White Rose Foundation in the United States, and as part of her work, shared these stunning black and white photographs, dating from 1933-1942 in May, 2021.
